Randall Reetz wrote; "moderen (sic) democratic societies"
I just love those 2 words: 'modern' and 'democratic'. Both those words (which are fairly vacant semantically) have coursed more misunderstanding and harm than almost all the other words in English put together. Of course while *somebody* is shoving his bigoted, ethno-culturo-centric view down Ruslan's throat, I would like to remind everybody on this use-list that the so-called 'Western Democracies' are not the only models for a successful and harmonious society - err, come to think of it - when I think of a 'western democracy' where everybodies' creativity is stifled by the threat of being sued for vast sums I don't feel harmonious at all. Randall Reetz wrote "israel" Ha, ha, ha: I, at least, have lived there (Israel/Palestine/Canaan/the Holy Land/think-of-a-name-that-reflects-your-personal-prejudices) and worked there, and am well aware of how "fair" contracts are there; and that isn't even dragging in the institutionalised racism. Randall's attitude makes me fell queasy; I'm off for a lie down. sincerely, Richmond Mathewson. ____________________________________________________________ A Thorn in the flesh is better than a failed Systems Development Life Cycle. ____________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
